Substituted 1 and 2 naphthol mannich bases

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to substituted 1 and 2 naphthol Mannich bases, a method for the production thereof, medicaments containing said compounds and the use of said compounds in the production of medicaments.

[0001] The invention relates to substituted 1- and 2-naphthol Mannich bases, processes for their preparation, medicaments comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds for the preparation of medicaments.

[0002] Pain is one of the basic clinical symptoms. There is a worldwide need for effective pain treatments. The urgent need for action for target-orientated treatment of chronic and non-chronic states of pain appropriate for the patient, by which is to be understood successful and satisfactory pain treatment for the patient, is documented in the large number of scientific works which have been published in the field of applied analgesia and basic research in nociception in recent years.

[0003] Conventional opioids, such as e.g. morphine, are effective in the treatment of severe to very severe pain. However, they have as undesirable concomitant symptoms, inter alia, respiratory depression, vomiting, sedation, constipation and development of tolerance.

[0004] Tramadol hydrochloride—(1RS,2RS)-2-[(dimethylamino)methyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-cyclohexanol—occupies a special position among analgesics having an action on the central nervous system, since this active compound brings about potent inhibition of pain without the side effects known of opioids (J. Pharmacol. Exptl. Ther. 267, 33 (1993)). Research is being conducted worldwide into further pain-inhibiting agents.

[0005] The object of the present invention was therefore to provide new compounds which are suitable in particular as active compounds in medicaments.

[0006] These active compounds should be suitable in particular for pain treatment and for treatment of inflammatory and allergic reactions, drug and/or alcohol abuse, diarrhoea, gastritis, ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, urinary incontinence, depression, states of shock, migraines, narcolepsy, excess weight, asthma, glaucoma and/or hyperkinetic syndrome.

[0007] This object is achieved according to, the invention by providing substituted 1- and 2-naphthol Mannich bases of the following general formula I which have a pronounced analgesic action and which moreover are suitable for treatment of/combating inflammatory and allergic reactions, drug and/or alcohol abuse, diarrhoea, gastritis, ulcers, cardiovascular diseases, urinary incontinence, depression, states of shock, migraines, narcolepsy, excess weight, asthma, glaucoma and/or hyperkinetic syndrome.

[0008] The invention therefore provides substituted 1- and 2-naphthol Mannich bases of the general formula I

[0142] The medicaments are preferably employed for treatment of/combating pain and/or inflammatory reactions and/or allergic reactions and/or drug abuse and/or alcohol abuse and/or diarrhoea and/or gastritis and/or ulcers and/or cardiovascular diseases and/or urinary incontinence and/or depression and/or states of shock and/or migraines and/or narcolepsy and/or excess weight and/or asthma and/or glaucoma and/or hyperkinetic syndrome.

[0143] The present invention also provides the use of at least one substituted 1- and/or 2-naphthol Mannich base of the general formula I according to the invention for the preparation of a medicament for treatment of/combating pain and/or inflammatory reactions and/or allergic reactions and/or drug abuse and/or alcohol abuse and/or diarrhoea and/or gastritis and/or ulcers and/or cardiovascular diseases and/or urinary incontinence and/or depression and/or states of shock and/or migraines and/or narcolepsy and/or excess weight and/or asthma and/or glaucoma and/or hyperkinetic syndrome.

[0144] In addition to at least one substituted 1- and/or 2-naphthol Mannich base of the general formula I, carrier materials, fillers, solvents, diluents, dyestuffs and/or binders are employed for formulating appropriate pharmaceutical formulations. The choice of auxiliary substances depends on whether the medicament is to be administered orally, intravenously, intraperitoneally, intradermally, intramuscularly, intranasally, buccally or locally, for example on infections of the skin, the mucous membranes and the eyes. The formulations in the form of tablets, coated tablets, capsules, granules, drops, juices and syrups are suitable for oral administration, and solutions, suspensions, easily reconstitutable dry formulations and sprays are suitable for parenteral, topical and inhalatory administration.

[0145] The substituted 1- and 2-naphthol Mannich bases of the general formula I according to the invention in a depot in dissolved form or in a patch, optionally with the addition of agents which promote penetration through the skin, are suitable formulations for percutaneous administration. The compounds of the general formula I according to the invention can be released from oral or percutaneous formulation forms in a delayed manner.

[0146] The amount of active compound to be administered to the patient varies according to the weight of the patient, the mode of administration, the indication and the severity of the disease.

[0147] Pharmacological Studies:

[0148] 1.) In Vitro Tests

[0149] Wide-ranging testing of the 1- and 2-naphthol Mannich bases according to the invention for their activity was carried out by the conventional high throughput screening methods, such as are described in John P. Devlin, High Throughput Screening, 1997, Marcel Dekker Inc. They are introduced herewith as a reference and are therefore part of the disclosure.

[0150] The action of the 1- and 2-naphthol Mannich bases according to the invention is determined in particular by the affinity for the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor family, for α-adrenergic receptors and opioid receptors.

[0151] 2.) Analgesia Test in the Writhing Test in Mice

[0152] The in-depth investigation for analgesic activity was carried out in the phenylquinone-induced writhing in mice (modified by I. C. Hendershot, J. Forsaith, J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 125, 237-240 (1959)). Male NMRI mice weighing 25-30 g were used for this. Groups of 10 animals per substance dose received 0.3 ml/mouse of a 0.02% aqueous solution of phenylquinone (phenylbenzoquinone, Sigma, Deisenhofen; preparation of the solution with the addition of 5% ethanol and storage in a water bath at 45° C.) administered intraperitoneally 10 minutes after intravenous administration of the test substances. The animals were placed individually in observation cages. The number of pain-induced stretching movements (so-called writhing reactions=straightening of the body with stretching of the hind extremities) were counted by means of a push-button counter for 5-20 minutes after the administration of phenylquinone. Animals which received only physiological saline solution were also run as a control.

[0153] The substances were tested in the standard dose of 10 mg/kg. The inhibition of the writhing reactions by a substance was calculated according to the following equation: ${\% \quad {inhibition}} = {100 - \left\lbrack {\frac{{writhing}\quad {reaction}\quad {of}\quad {treated}\quad {animals}}{{writhing}\quad {reaction}\quad {of}\quad {control}} \times 100} \right\rbrack}$

[0154] The following examples serve to illustrate the invention, but do not limit the general inventive idea.

EXAMPLES

[0155] General Synthesis Instructions for the Preparation of Aminal Compounds of the General Formula IV:

[0156] General Synthesis Instructions 1:

[0157] 1.0 equivalent of the particular aromatic, heteroaromatic or aliphatic aldehyde compound of the general formula II was slowly added dropwise, while stirring at 20° C., to 2.7 equivalents of a 40% solution of the particular secondary amine with the general formula III. The solution was then subsequently stirred at a temperature of 80° C. for a further 30 minutes and then cooled to room temperature, and 0.57 equivalent of potassium carbonate was added. Two phases formed here and were separated from one another, the aqueous phase being extracted three times with 100 ml ethyl acetate each time. The combined organic phases were dried over potassium carbonate and freed from the solvent. The aminal compounds of the general formula IV obtained in this way were then employed in the subsequent reactions without further purification.

[0158] General Synthesis Instructions 2:

[0159] 1.6 equivalents of boric acid anhydride were added to a solution of 1.0 equivalent of the particular aromatic, heteroaromatic or aliphatic aldehyde compound of the general formula II in 80 ml absolute toluene. A solution of 2.4 equivalents of a secondary amine of the general formula III in 85 ml absolute toluene was then added with vigorous stirring. Starting of the reaction could be seen by a significant increase in temperature. The reaction solution was then subsequently stirred at a temperature of 45 to 50° C. for a further two hours. After cooling to room temperature the excess boric acid anhydride was separated off and the filtrate was freed from the solvent. The aminal compounds of the general formula IV obtained in this way were employed in the subsequent reactions without further purification.

[0160] General Synthesis Instructions for the Synthesis of Iminium Salts of the General Formula V:

[0161] General Synthesis Instructions 3:

[0162] A solution of 1.0 equivalent of acetyl chloride in absolute diethyl ether was slowly added dropwise, while stirring, to 1.0 equivalent of an ice-cooled solution or suspension of the aminal compound of the general formula IV prepared in accordance with general synthesis instructions 1 or 2. The reaction mixture was then subsequently stirred overnight at approx. 20° C. A precipitate was formed here, and was filtered off with suction under nitrogen and then dried under an oil pump vacuum. The iminium salts of the general formula V obtained in this way were employed in the subsequent reactions without further purification.

[0163] General Synthesis Instructions for the Synthesis of 1- and 2-Naphthol Mannich Bases of the General Formula I:

[0164] General Synthesis Instructions 4:

[0165] The synthesis of the naphthol Mannich bases according to the invention was carried out on an automatic unit from Zymark according to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2:

[0166] FIG. 1 here comprises a capper station (no. 1) for closing the reaction tubes, a robot 1 (no. 2) and a robot 2 (no. 3), robot 1 moving the reaction tubes and the corresponding racks and robot 2 pipetting the reagents into the reaction tubes, a temperature-controllable reactor block (no. 4), stirrer blocks (no. 5) and a filtration station (no. 6), in which the reaction solution is filtered.

[0167] FIG. 2 also comprises a robot 1 (no. 1) and a robot 2 (no. 2), both of which move the glass tubes with the synthesis products to the various stations. The stations are, specifically, a vortexer (no. 3) for thorough mixing of the samples and for metering in solutions or solvents, a spin reactor (no. 4) for thorough mixing of samples, a phase detection station (no. 5) for detection of the phase boundary and phase separation, and a station (no. 6) for drying the synthesis products over salt cartridges.

[0168] For the synthesis, a round-bottomed tube of glass (diameter 16 mm, length 125 mm) with a screw-thread was provided manually with a stirrer and closed with a screw-cap with a septum on the capper station (no. 1) according to FIG. 1.

[0169] The tube was placed by robot 1 (no. 2) in the reactor block (no. 4), which was temperature-controlled at 25° C. Robot 2 (no. 3) pipetted in the following reagents in succession:

[0170] 1.) 1 ml of a 0.1 M solution of 1- or 2-naphthol or a substituted 1- or 2-naphthol compound of the general formula VI and 14 μl triethylamine in acetonitrile

[0171] 2.) 1.2 ml of a 0.1 M solution of an iminium salt of the general formula V in acetonitrile

[0172] The iminium salts were prepared beforehand as described in the following examples. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was stirred at 90° C. in one of the stirrer blocks (no. 5) for 960 min. The reaction solution was then filtered at the filtration station (no. 6). The tube was washed twice here with in each case 1 ml methylene chloride and 200 μl water.

[0173] The rack with the tubes was then placed manually on an automatic working-up unit according to FIG. 2. 2 ml water and 2 ml ethyl acetate were added to the reaction mixture there on a vortexer (no. 3).

[0174] The mixture was brought to a pH of 1 with 1 ml aqueous 5% hydrochloric acid solution. The components were mixed thoroughly in the spin reactor (no. 4) for ten minutes and a clear phase boundary was formed by the slow decrease in the rotational movement. This phase boundary was detected optically on the phase detection station (no. 5) and the aqueous phase was pipetted off. In the next step 2 ml ethyl acetate were added to this and the mixture was brought to a pH of 11 with 1 ml saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The components were mixed again thoroughly in the spin reactor (no. 4) for ten minutes and the organic phase was then pipetted off. In the next step 1.5 ml ethyl acetate was again added to the aqueous phase. The solution was shaken and centrifuged and the organic phase was pipetted off. The combined organic phases were dried over 2.4 g MgSO₄ (granulated). The solvent was removed in a vacuum centrifuge.
